Publisher Description
'You can't go around building a better world for people. Only people can build a better world for people. Otherwise, it's just a cage.'
There's power in stories. The Fairy Godmother is good. The servant girl marries the Prince. Everyone lives happily ever after . . . don't they?
The witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick are travelling to far-distant Genua to stop a wedding and save a kingdom. But how do you fight a happy-ever-after, especially when it comes with glass slippers and a power-hungry Fairy Godmother who has made Destiny an offer it can't refuse?
It's hard to resist a good story, even when the fate of the kingdom depends on it . . .
'No one mixes the fantastical and mundane to better comic effect' Daily Mail
'One of our greatest fantasists, and beyond a doubt the funniest' George RR Martin
Witches Abroad is the third book in the Witches series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

Wyches Abroad
All the hallmarks of Terry Pratchett. He’s an obsevationalist. He was not only an author, but a state of mind. That can look around the oddest corners of how people view themselves and each other
Interesting read
Usual TP book filled with a Kalashnikov splattering of double entendres and meanings which one has to read half a dozen times to appreciate them all. Not as good as Guards! Guards! but better than the Rincewind series. Greebo is an interesting character and clearly been stewing in Terry’s mind like a gumbo during the creation of this book.
